Can invited user sync folder?

Question

I have a folder setup and have invited a guest user to have access to this folder. They can login and see the files in the Live Desktop. Is there also a way to allow them to sync the folder the same way I can to my computer? Is the sync option limited to only the owner user account and not invited guests?

Hello,

Once you've invited another user to your folder, they have full access and ability to sync that folder just as you do. In the future, you'll have the ability to limit this capability (read-only access, etc), but today all members have full access.

Thanks,
Richard

The same way you do for your other devices. If your friend downloads the client, the folder will show up on his Desktop and he can choose to sync that folder on his device.

Thanks for your help with this. I guess I missed this when setting it up.
